    When I was a teenager, I got a virus that would cause a bunch of white stars to appear on my task bar and then a few moments later the computer would shut down. The people at Best Buy said it was a lost cause. I ended up staying up all night one night trying to fix it. I’d only get from around 5 seconds to 3 minutes of work time each time as the computer would randomly shut down (especially when you’d actually try to remove the virus). To this day I don’t know exactly what it was or where it came from but one of the proudest things is that I was actually able to fix it. Mind you, it took like 11 hours straight...

Running CMD as an adminstrator gives you the entire power of the computer and nothing can stop you, almost comparable to an Emperor, yea, you get the same amount of power as an Emperor has over his people, over your computer.

    I got the FBI virus once on my tablet, completely locked my screen disabling any functions, however I did find something strange. every time I would restart the tablet,, it would take about 8-10 seconds for the virus to load up and lock my screen, leaving only the FBI screen up telling me to pay $500. So I decided to restart it once more, and quickly flew into settings, reset, and decided to factory reset the whole things, hence deleting the malware. I am not sure how to fix the issue on a laptop, chances are you can just hard reset it, you will lose everything but its a good price to pay to recover your device. But as for the tablet, just scroll into settings and factory reset the device...but make sure you have fingers as fast as lighting because if you don't, than you have to start the process all over again.

    • @CZghost
      @CZghost 5 років тому +52

      On an Android device, a little trick will help. You can do a factory reset from a powered off device, if you press power and volume down (or up, depends on device). The key is to get into restore menu. You have to then select factory reset option via volume buttons, which work like arrows up and down now. Power runs selected option. If the device speaks Chinese to you, select the option that has eMMC in it. It will perform a factory reset and you can use the device again, and install anything you want again. Just beware of malware, which sometimes slips through security checks run on Google Play, so you can find a malicious app sitting right in Google Play Store. Pay attention to the permissions that app requires.

      Hey! I have been using computers when M$ was just a gleam in Gates eye. Meaning IBM DOS, FORTRAN, COBOL and "No internet". Viruses were just badly coded programs that could not complete. Written on 5 1/4" floppy disk(640kb) So JUNK. Computer was a NEW word to the dictionary. So, not in school curriculum. Each computer took up a ROOM as it was all vacuum tubes & not accessible except by the technician and cost about $10,000.00 in 1975 money. So only SOME EDUCATIONAL institutes or big business could afford to have it. You needed Grade 12 Math with straight A's to attend and many of them did not understand it & pass the course. I could write programs but many of them had "Loops" so did not complete the assignment...after 2 years.
      . Virus writing was a slow process. Spreading it was restricted to the distance the physical floppy disc could travel. Most times it was kept in the ROUND STORAGE CONTAINER at the teacher's desk...or the waste-bin outside.
      . Slowly computers got smaller and more affordable (still no internet) and finally internet which took you to a limited supply of text documents(mostly scientific school stuff) and no color screen.
      . Basically a computer was a glorified electric typewriter.(that was my initial impression)

    There was a virus in the early 2000's that my ex is sure was on his computer. He reformatted his computer and it seemed to go away. There was 11 main computers and thousands infected botnet type computers. He was sure his was one of the 11 main computers. 10 were found. The 11th never was.
